Membership

How do I become a member of Cabarrus Rotary?

If you’re interested in joining our Rotary club, email our membership chair, and we will be happy to have you attend a meeting. Please keep in mind that individuals must be sponsored or proposed for membership into a club. Often, a person being considered for membership is invited by a club member, or sponsor, to attend one or more club meetings to learn more about Rotary. In this case, the sponsor submits the candidate’s name to the club's membership committee. Please note that membership in a Rotary club is by invitation only.

What are membership qualifications?

Prospective members must:

Hold (or be retired from) a professional, proprietary, executive, managerial, or community position

Have demonstrated a commitment to service through personal involvement

Be able to meet the club's weekly attendance or community project participation requirements

Live or work within the vicinity of the club or surrounding area

What are the responsibilities of membership?

Members are expected to attend weekly club meetings. They must pay annual dues to their clubs, their Rotary district, and Rotary International, and they’re expected to participate in local or international Rotary club activities or projects. Clubs encourage members to aspire to club leadership or committee roles.

What are the attendance requirements?

An attendance record of 50 percent is required to remain an active Rotarian. Any missed meeting must be made up within 14 days before or after the regular meeting. To accommodate busy schedules, there are various opportunities to make up missed meetings.
